Well II spent 11 days in all in hospital. After numerous test they decided that it was not a surgical problem and passed me to the medical team They finally diagnosed 'Drug induced cholestatic jaundice likely secondary to co-amoxiclav' That's the medical jargon they explained it as an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. I have never been allergic to antibiotics before. On the mend now just have to have a weekly blood test for the next 8 weeks. It is odd as a friend that I go to a club with was in hospital at the same time with a reaction to a different antibiotic with different symptoms - she had a red rash all over her body. Another friend knew of someone who had had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic as well. It just seems strange
